Hello! I had a great time at Ramanessin with the crew from DVPS. After everyone left, I went above the spillway and spent a couple hours sifting there. Eventually, I found this tooth! It's smaller and more intact than the mosasaur teeth I've seen online, but there are pretty clear enamel lines and cutting edges that cause me to lean away from IDing it as crocodilian. Would someone ID it for me please? Thank you!

Hi all, I recently found this fossil, and I was hoping I could find some help here identifying it. I found it at Fort Sheridan in Illinois, and wasn’t expecting something that looked like it could be vertebrate. I’m familiar with the fossils with the area, and was surprised to find something like this. Any ID suggestions or suggestions for where to get it ID’d would be appreciated. Someone I talked to said it may be an amphibian/tetrapod fossil (potentially an egg) Description of fossil: small potato shaped rock with skull and thorax of specimen showing. “Feet” protruding from the bottom, and there appears to be a little hand covering the skull on one side. Little hand over face Top view showing little hand over right side of skull Right side view Left side view IMG_7547.MOV

Hi all! I found this egg shaped, non-magnetic, stone on the shoreline of Cayuga Lake in New York. It has a sandy, gritty texture and seems heavy for it's size. Being in an area where I find glacial deposits & till, identifying fossils and stones can be an adventure. Could this possibly be a very worn fossilized sponge or just another variety of interesting "holy rollers" washed up on shore. I find quite an assortment here. Please excuse the plant debris (small whitish fibers), I didn't want to scrub it too harshly.

So there is this nifty oddity, I found it in my backyard pool decor rock bed. The first photo is the entire thing. Then i show them separately. I am sorry that I used the penny this time for size, I found my square for the next time.. I saw someone else post a fossil like this one; however, I am a newbie and I have not figured out how to look for other photos yet.

Scotland, Solway Firth, thought crinoid but friend thinks plant- club moss? Any ideas. Measurements are 20cm x 5cm for “stem” section corals and bivalve shells in rocks around these examples. Carboniferous era.

Hi guys and gals! I found this mystery fossil a few years ago and the people I spoke to at SMU and the Perot are not sure as to what it is. I thought I throw it out here and see what opinions you all might have. Thanks for taking the time to look and try to help. Woodbine Formation : 95-98mya North Texas

Two in one post: possible Allosaurus tooth and Marshosaurus tooth
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Fossil ID
I’m wondering if these two teeth (both are from the Morrison Formation in Moffat County, Colorado) have been identified correctly as Allosaurus and Marshosaurus. Here are the measurements of both: Allosaurus: 4cm long serration count is 10/5mm on anterior and posterior carinae base length is 21mm and base width is 13.5 mm (note from dealer: Please note that the base of this tooth is broken and the transition of enamel to root is not present. The base measurement may have been larger.) Marshosaurus: 4cm long serration count is 18/5mm on anterior and posterior carinae base length is 15 mm and base width is 8mm (note from dealer: Please note that the base of this tooth is very near the enamel to root transition a represents a fairly complete tooth.) The serrations on the anterior keel of the tooth extend two-thirds of the distance from tip to base. Images seem to be weirdly mismatched, but I think it’s pretty easy to tell which pictures match with which.

Hello people, glad I found this forum as I love fossil hunting but am never sure of what I find, beyond speculation. I found this little piece resting on the sand earlier today at Whitecliff Bay on the Isle of Wight. Any thoughts? I’ve taken a few pictures to try to give some indication of size. TIA

Saw this one listed as a tully monster online, but I'm decently sure that its been misidentified. Am I correct on this?

Here are some fossils from Lost River, WV. They were found near the Needmore formation roadside quarry. These fossils are not from the Needmore formation, instead they are from the Clinton Group. The Clinton Group, from what I found during my research, is composed of the Keefer and Rose Hill formations.

So, I have a nice collection of fossils ive found from 2 seperate trips to Aurora... I was told the straight and curved bones could be ribs (most likely dolphin), but I am unsure. I also have a 2-3 inch bone that lolks like it could be from a land animal. I also have 3 different vertebrates from something... One is medium-small, one is small, and then the other one is really small lol. Then, in the last picture and in the middle of the row... I have no idea what it could be, it looks like an imprimt of a plant maybe? I found another one and its red, but I forget where I put it... At the beginning of that same row it seems to be sharks teeth but their all on a row... And the last fossil on that row looks to be a dolphin tooth. (Sorry I know its a lot of fossils.... We can knock them out one at a time, right? )

Is this a fossil and if so what is it? (Found In Wales on a pile of rocks)

Hi, I recently got this cretaceous mammal tooth from the Hell Creek formation, and I was wondering if you may help me find the scientific name of the species that it belonged to. I've done some research and learned that it was the premolar of a Multituberculate mammal. This order of mammals was diverse and there were many species. I think it might be one of the members of the Genus, Mesodma, Yet I could be wrong. I tried to narrow it down to the exact species, yet there are few examples to help me pinpoint to a certain Id. This tiny tooth is from Garfield County, Montana. it is from the late cretaceous period (~67 - 66 Ma). It measures approximately at 3/16" long by 3/16" wide (5 mm x 5 mm). It is thin and blade-like towards the top of the crown. The enamel has a grooved texture on the surface. The overall shape of crown resembles a saw blade. Hopefully I would be able to id. this specimen and to learn more about it. Feel free to ask me for better images.

Hey guys we found a box of whole body fossils in a box in my dads room after he had passed away. Could you guys be so kind and help me identify these guys and what would be recommended ways to help preserve them.

I was wondering whether this belongs to a Eurypterid. The only recorded genus of Eurypterids at the locality is Truncatiramus. Formation: Bloomsburg-Williamsport Formation. Age: Silurian. Other recorded fossils: Tentaculites sp., Klodenella sp., and Stromatapora sp. Second photo:

Hey! I'm a bit new to this, so please forgive me A friend recently gave me a bunch of fossils she bought a while ago. I've been trying to identify them - most of them are relatively straightforward, but I'm not sure whether this fossil is a piece of coral or a byrozoan (fossil length 4cm). Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello! I’m back from a trip to Texas, and while there I did quite a lot of fossil hunting. I’m not going to be uploading everything here (because I found quite a bit and I feel a bit bad putting so many), but I figured I’d post the ones I’m most stumped on. I’d really appreciate any help. I’m on mobile, so I’m not sure if these will upload in order (they should, but if not I’ll fix it on PC soon). 1: Not sure what this is, but I really like how it’s intact on both sides. Found at Benbrook Lake, Fort Worth to the left of the marina. 2: My dad is mostly interested in this one. Maybe it’s just a rock, but I do think its formation and little cracks are interesting. Also from Benbrook. 3. Looks pretty cool (though I’m not confident in any guesses I could have). Benbrook Lake. 4. I actually got this one identified before at a museum, but I want to hear everyone’s thoughts without influence (because it ended up being pretty cool and I’d like to know for sure). Found in Paluxy by a river that another fossil hunter recommended. 5. This has a teeny little imprint, if you can see that. Maybe some little wormy thing? Not sure! Found in Benbrook. Again, I’d be so thankful for any help and I had lots of fun collecting everything. Will probably upload all the rest at some point.
